Capítulo 444: Up shit creek without Dirt-Hog...
*BOOOM!*
Another Legion tower explodes in a blinding shower of rotten wood, metal shrapnel, and body parts as Afton's Sonic Emitter causes a chain reaction. He'd shoot from the window as he continues to drive Dirt-Hog up the winding road towards the Fort, yet the many defensive placements were beginning to annoy him.
"How many of you fuckers do I have to kill before you get outta the way!" he shouts out of the window while firing another sonic projectile at a Legionary, yet again causing an explosive chain reaction via his [Meltdown!] Perk.
Green shockwaves of plasma evaporate any nearby Legionaries and utterly decimate the structure they were standing on. Afton wishes they were able to stick around and watch the fireworks, but they were kind of in a rush... Having almost the entirety of the Legion's forces in the Mojave chasing after you would definitely put a pep in your step, fortunately, Dirt-Hog was more than fast enough to lose them for now.
A few of the better-armed Legionaries attempted to destroy the vehicle with grenade launchers, C4, rocket launchers, and simple make-shift barricades... Truthfully, the only thing that'd damaged Dirt-Hog so far was the barricades they were setting up.
Every time Afton was forced to crash through one, Dirt-Hog's condition got worse and worse. Afton feared that if they were forced to crash through another large gate then Dirt-Hog would be out for the count, something he'd been dreading since the destruction of Dirt-Bird.
Veronica was also becoming more proficient on the turret, though, Afton had to wonder how much ammo it truly had left... They must've killed several thousand Legionaries so far, and yet they continued coming out of the woodwork like ants.
Sure enough, Afton could see the Fort in the distance, meaning that were almost at their destination. Good timing too, since smoke was beginning to billow from under Dirt-Hog's hood... On any other car, this would mean a few non-lethal mechanical issues... But on a nuclear-powered vehicle like Dirt-Hog? A nuclear explosion is the best you could hope for!
*CRACK! CRUNCH!*
Afton drives into yet another Legionary as they stupidly try to block the vehicle, all they do though is just add another red smear to the bonnet and the already heavily damaged front windscreen.
Another couple minutes of driving and they finally reach the Fort!... The only problem though was the large reinforced gate blocking any further passage!
Afton sighs as he speeds up, "Yeah... I saw this coming... EVERYONE! STRAP YOURSELVES IN!" he shouts, giving the group enough time to prepare themselves for another hard impact.
*BOOOOM!*
Dirt-Hog punches through the gate as if it were made of Lego's, yet again sending metal shards flying, some even managing to land inside the Fort itself, causing Chaos to erupt due to the sudden attack... Afton couldn't blame them though, hue metal shards flying towards you at terminal velocity is definitely something to be afraid of!
Afton tries to accelerate again as Dirt-Hog lands, but the vehicle gives off a large groan before shutting off completely... Smoke billows out of the hood as the metal composing it begins glowing red. "Holy fuck!" Afton yelps as he leaps out of the vehicle, "IT'S GONNA BLOW, GET THE FUCK OUT!" he shouts, all the while having the composure to jump up and tear the damaged K9000 off of the top of it.
The gun was incredibly high tech and expensive, so Afton was not going to waste it if he didn't have to.
Fortunately for the group, the second impact seemed to have woken up Karl, the old retired ranger pulls himself out of the vehicle with the rest of the group and runs ahead behind Afton. Of course, the Legionaries were already firing at them, but Afton and Veronica shield the group with their bodies for now.
Karl, Boone, Anja, and ED-E all throw themselves behind cover, not against the Legionaries, but to protect themselves from the catastrophic Dirt-Hog explosion in the making.
The unaware Legionaries who had been following the group from outside the Fort attempt to climb over the destroyed vehicle, but, when one accidentally steps on the hood and has the rubber of the boot literally melt and stick to it, they finally realise something was up...
*BOOOOOOOOOOM!*
A mushroom cloud greets the sky as the vehicle blows up in a mighty explosion. The force of which knocks Veronica onto her back, and if it weren't for the various protections and Perks Afton had against explosives, he'd be on the floor all the same.
The Legionaries near the destroyed gate were all instantly incinerated... The explosion even causes the rest to collapse, preventing any more Legionaries from attempting to follow the group into the Fort... Not that many would be willing to follow, the mushroom cloud was indication enough that the area had become heavily irradiated... Even primitive Legionaries were smart enough to know that was not a good thing.
Even as the explosion occurred however, Afton was already firing at Legionaries up near the Fort. He was firing his Anti-Material Rifle with one arm, all the while shielding his companions with his body while they get back their bearings from the nearby nuclear explosion.
He wasn't willing to fire his Sonic Emitter at them due to his fear that the Chain Reaction would kill everything inside the Fort, killing Tamia, Josie, and Dogmeat while also destroying Houses underground bunker... This is also the reason he used the Range Finder elsewhere.
"Nyx, how many hostiles up in the Fort?" he asks, his hud already marking down the forty or so who were defending from the top of the incline.
"User, I am detecting several thousand... Too many to individually identify. Proceed with caution." the AI warns.
"Will do." Afton says before turning towards his group, "Get a hold of yourselves! We're currently deep up shit creek, so start shooting or at least thrown an insult or something!" he shouts, loading an explosive round into the Anti-Material Rifle before firing, killing a good six people and injuring another eight.

Capítulo 445: Hostwist?
Tamia's eyes widen at Caesar's words. He wanted her to kill Josie? Why? To affirm loyalty or some other inane reason? Already she could hear Josie's muffled words, meaning she'd be gagged under the mask.
Looking down, Tamia could see the rusty handcuffs binding Josie's arms behind her, preventing her from doing anything to defend herself. She glances back to Caesar who's still grinning maliciously.
"Ah, I seem to have forgotten... Here." he says, tossing a knife at her feet.
...
To be honest, Tamia was very, very tempted to simply stab Caesar with it. But she knew if she tried that she'd definitely die. She picks the knife up and scowls, "Why are you making me do this?"
"To show who you belong to, now kill the girl and we can get down to business." he simply states, gesturing her forwards to Josie.
Tamia walks over to Josie and grabs her shoulder, trying to think of a way out of this by coming up short... She honestly didn't even know if she had the family Caesar was supposedly threatening...
"Well? Go on, do not disappoint me." Caesar urges while Tamia's hand begins trembling.
Her throat goes dry as she grips the knife harder, she knew she was surrounded, there was no other way out other than this... And would Afton and the others even find out if she did this to escape?... Tamia continues to try and reason her way through this unreasonable situation, all while Caesar continues urging her to continue.
Fortunately, the cavalry seems to have arrived just in time...
*BOOM!*
A great crash occurs not far from the Fort, the ground trembles slightly due to the force of it. Immediately all the Praetorian guards are on alert, each looking to Caesar for orders.
He scowls and waves at them, "Half of you go deal with whoever is attacking, the rest stay here and defend me." he gesticulates before turning to Tamia. "Now continue!"
Tamia slowly nods, but after half the guards leave she pulls Josie forwards and whips around, leaping at Caesar, barely avoiding Powerfist jab to the face and managing to manoeuvre herself into a chokehold with the knife pressing against his neck. "Back off or the baby-faced emperor gets it!" she roars, causing a couple guards to take a step back.
Caesar struggles against her hold but she tightens the grip around his neck, causing him to wheeze slightly. A Praetorian guard moves in and tries to grab Josie from the floor however, "Stay back or I'll kill this asshole!"
"Take the girl!" Caesar loudly orders from his restrained position, and the guard does as he's told, picking Josie up and placing the barrel of his rifle against her head.
Tamia growls and pushes the tip of the knife harder against Caesar's neck to prove she wasn't playing, but is dumbfounded when the blade retracts into itself, revealing that it was just a trick knife! "What?"
"HehehehHahahahaha! You didn't really think I'd hand a traitor a knife, did you? For a test of loyalty it wasn't even needed! After all, why kill when you can enslave?" Caesar mocks, but Tamia just scowls instead.
She drops the knife and reaches for her Proton axe, igniting it and placing the energy blade against his neck. "Oh you're so smart!" sho scoffs, "Alright, how about this? I brought my own." she growls out. This time Caesar gets a cold sweat, he could feel a tingle on his skin due to how close it was to the energy blade of the traitor's strange weapon. How could his idiotic guards forget to check her for weapons!?
Tamia's about to continue threatening them but is cut off by another, louder explosion...
*BOOOOOOM!*
The power of the explosion is incredible, the wind caused by it smacking against Caesar's tent and almost uprooting it from the ground. Whatever it was, they certainly meant business!
"That should be my compatriots." she turns towards the guard holding Josie hostage, "Let her go or Caesar gets it!" she shouts for the Nth time. Still, the guard doesn't move, only infuriating Tamia further, "Alright! How about a taste then!" she exclaims as she proceeds to drag the energy blade down Caesar's arm, cutting off a large chunk of flesh while cauterizing the wound.
"AAAAAARRRRGHHH!" Caesar screams in agony as this happens, the guard scowls and fires his rifle at Josie's leg, blowing a good portion of her calf off and causing massive bleeding. She gives out a muffled scream and flails around under her restraints, showing just how painful it is.
Seeing this Tamia places the Proton axes energy blade against Caesar's crotch, ready to sever his manhood. "I'd wager Caesar is more valuable than she is, you will let her go or I'll de-dick him!"
"JUST DO AS SHE SAYS!" Caesar exclaims, sending a heavy glare down at the energy blade that was way too close for comfort to his johnson!
Josie is thrown to the floor, not that it was required due to her current state... She couldn't stand due to having most of her calf blown away. Tamia glares at them, "Release her bindings! NOW!"
The guards do as she says, pulling off her hood and handcuffs. Josie, finally able to see what was happening rapidly looks around and gapes when she spots Tamia, LITERALLY HOLDING CAESAR HOSTAGE!"
"Stop staring and wrap your leg up, you idiot! You'll bleed out before we can escape!" Tamia urges and Josie quickly nods, tearing off her shirt under her recon armour and using it to bandage her wound... It was just her luck that those fuckers shot her under her Deathclaw leather duster, otherwise she may have come out unscathed!
Once done Josie limps towards Tamia and tears off part of Caesar's thrown to use as a makeshift crutch. But not before spitting at Caesar, "Piece of shit."
A few of the Praetorian guards attempt to get closer in order to save Caesar, but Tamia just presses the Proton axe closer to his unmentionables, getting them to back away. Being the cause of your tyrant leader's emasculation would be certain death, but not before ungodly torture that would put the burning man to shame.
